Steel Imports

AGREEMENT. Britain has decided to join the nine other countries of the European Common Market in an accord with the United States on steel quotas. As a result, said a spokeswoman for U.S. Trade Representative Clayton L. Yeutter, a weeklong U.S. ban on imports will be lifted. A press officer for the Common Market delegation in Washington said the 10 governments are expected to approve their final accord at a meeting Tuesday in Brussels. The pact is part of an effort by the Reagan administration to hold down imports of steel and preserve more jobs and contracts for the U.S. industry.
